PF^/^^S?^^^^KW ORIvEANS, tlie metropolis of the South 
'"^ "^ — ""-^^ '^ and the ^Mississippi Valley, and the Winter 
Capital of America, is a city of over 3.50.000 
iiihahitants, and was founded by Bienville, a 
French-Canadian, in 1718. It lies 110 miles 
from the mouth of the Mississippi River, and 
comprises the entire Parish of Orleans, with an 
area of 1961/4 square miles. It has a harbor ranging in depth from 
over 200 to 3.5 feet, thirty miles of wharves, a part of which are covered 
by municipally owned, modern steel sheds, and a public belt railroad, 
which, free of charge transfers commodities to and from the railroads. 
It is the largest coffee, banana, sugar, cotton, rice, nitrate, cigar, 
cigarette, sulphur and salt market in the United States, and, by 
reason of its geographical location, enjoys unusual rail and ocean 
transportation facilities. Its population is principally American, 
with a large number of French-speaking inhabitants — the Creoles of 
Louisiana, who live, for the most part, in that section lying below 
Canal Street, known as the French, or Creole quarter.

Socially, New Orleans is delightful; and, by reason of this, and 
her historic interest, cosmopolitanism, foreign characteristics, her 
famous cuisine, her JNIardi Gras and manifold amusements, New 
Orleans is known as the "Winter Capital of America." Motor- 
boating and yachting on Lake Pontchartrain may be enjoyed all- 
year-around, due to the open winters; and in summer-time Xew 
Orleans is cooler than New York, Chicago and many of the large 
cities far to the North. This is due to being surrounded by rivers 
and large lakes, and the near jn'oximity of the Gulf of ^Mexico to the 
southward, and the prevailing breezes in summer-time being from 
that quarter. Within less than two hours by rail from New Orleans 
one can enjoy salt-water bathing in Mississippi Sound, this beautiful 
stretch of coast, from a few miles east of Xew Orleans to Mobile, 
Alabama, being known as the "Riviera of America," and is filled 
with Northern sojoiu-ners in the winter-time, and New Orleans 
residents in the summer. Waveland, Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, 
MississipjDi City, Long Beach, Ocean Springs, Gulfport, Biloxi, 
Scranton and Pascagoula are the most noted of these coast resorts. 

From the standpoint of the epicure, New Orleans is the one 
bright spot on American soil. Her cooks, descended of the best of 
their kind in France and Spain, and taking on the added art of the 
Creole, produce viands which have created for this city a reputation 
at home and abroad. Shrimp, both river and lake, crayfish, crabs 
and oysters are among the sj^ecialties of New Orleans sea foods. It 
might be added that New Orleans is the largest oyster market in 
the world, and one of the largest fish markets in the United States, 
while the huntsman and fisherman are offered the rarest sport in 
the bayous and marshes of the country immediately adjacent and 
within forty minutes' ride.

>rew Orleans, by reason of its open winters, is the place par 
excellence for outdoor sports, and is abundantly equipped for the 
enjoyment of such votaries. There are two golf clubs, several tennis 
clubs, numerous rowing clubs, splendid yacht clubs for both sailing 
and motor-boating, an automobile club, baseball and football, basket- 
ball, track and field sports, a polo club, athletic clubs, with salt-water 
plunge baths. The visitoi- is hospitably entertained, and some friend 
may always be had to obtain privileges of the private clubs. 

Xowhere else in America are the disciples of Izaak Walton and 
Nimrod likely to find the peculiar comliination of advantages 
possessed by the immediate vicinity of New Orleans for fishing and 
hunting. 

The hundreds of lakes, bays, bayous, lagoons and streams of 
fresh or salt water surrounding the city off'er the rarest sport for the 
duck hunter in winter-time, and either fresh or deep-sea fishing may 
be had. Wild turkey, quail, doves, snipe, plover, papabotte, geese 
and the mallard, teal, spoonbill, pin tail, canvasback, redhead, 
ringed-neck and other varieties of duck abound in great numbers. 
There are innumerable private or public clubs wdiich afford entertain- 
ment and facilities for the visitor, and the exhilarating sport of 
hooking the great fighting tarpon, jackfish and "leaping" shark is 
found all along the Mississippi Sound, or nearer in the passes 
between the lakes and the Sound. Big game, such as bear, deer, 
panther, "bob-cats," as well as opossums, raccoons, rabbits and 
squirrels, may be had, and even an occasional alligator. In a ride 
of less than one hour from New Orleans the visitor is in a sports- 
man's paradise. Speckled and green trout, sheepshead, pompano, 
buffalo, sunfish, redfish, red snapper, drum, black and striped bass, 
Spanish mackerel, perch and croakers abound everywhere. Much of 
this sport can be obtained at the very city limits of New Orleans 
(for the parish and the city are one and the same), making New 
Orleans literally a sportsman's INIecca and metropolis.

NEW ORLEANS 



To the visitor the French Quarter is naturally the most interest- 
ing. The old (quarter is bounded by the river. Canal and Rampart 
Streets, and Esplanade Avenue, and liere are to be found the quaint 
and massive old French and Spanish houses, the wide, ])aved court- 
yards with tropical vegetation and dowers, the antique stores, famous 
restaurants, quaint shops possessed by quaint people, nearly all 
speaking the French language in i^reference to English. 

Canal Sti'eet is the dividing line between the French and 
American Quarters. The French is "downtown" — to the north. 
This is due to the fact that the JNIississippi River, as it passes the 
head of Canal Street, flows directly north. Hence the residents 
sjjeak of "uptown" and "downtown" instead of north and south — a 
point well worth remembering in going about the city. 

In the French Quarter ai'e located the greater portion of the 
historical buildings and sites which are enunaerated elsewhere. 

The young French colony of New Orleans attracted many of 
the foremost families of France, and they brought with them 
thousands of articles of art, virtu and embellishment of the nobles 
and their follow^ers, who sought fame and additional riches in the 
land of the Mexican Gulf. 

It is in the quaint old French portion of the city that the new- 
comer naturally seeks the shops of the dealers in odd things, and it 
is here that they are found. Not numerous, the supply being small 
and the antiques real, for there is no factory making New Orleans 
antiques. These shops may be found in Royal, Boiu'bon and 
Chartres Streets, in the vicinity of Canal Street.

New Orleans has spent $28,000,000 in completing one of the 
most elaborate systems of sanitation in the world. The huge water- 
filtration plant gives to the residents a crystal, soft and wholesome 
water. The drainage system has dried out the surface soil, and huge 
skyscrapers with deep cellars are to-day standing in New Orleans. 

The waterworks plant, one of the best in the United States, is 
the largest of its type in the world. It comprises a system of sedi- 
mentation, coagulation and filtration through American rapid filtra- 
tion system. There are two pumping stations of 80,000,0C0 gallons 
capacity per day, with an average pressure of 75 pounds, and a 
maximum of 100 poimds, while across the river there is a 4,000-gallon 
miniatiu-e independent system. There are 500 miles of distribution 
mains and pipes, and active filtration was begun February, 1909. 
The cost of the waterworks and filtration plant is $7,000,000. 

The sewerage system has been in operation since October, 19C5, 
and of the 375 miles projected 305 are completed. There are two 
main jjumping stations and five sub-stations. The cost when com- 
pleted will be $5,500,000. 

The drainage plant of New Orleans was put into operation in 
January, 1900, and when completed will cost $15,000,000. The area 
ch-ained is from tlie ^Nlississijjpi River to Lake Pontchartrain, and 
from the upper protection levee to the lower parish line. There is a 
central power plant generating electricity for the operation of 
seven jjumping stations. There are 103 miles of canals, twenty- tliree 
miles of tide-level out-fall canals, and eighty miles of low-level 
canals. Of tlie latter, twenty miles are masonry-lined, five miles are 
wood-lined, remainder being open excavations. The latter will 
eventually be masonry-lined, and in the built-up areas will be covered. 
A total of 45 per cent, of the drainage work has been completed.

HE St. Charles has heeu numbered among the 
world's noted hostelries for almost one hundred 
years. Xew Orleans boasted of its St. Charles 
Hotel as early as 1834, and with good reason, for 
at that time there was jirobably not its equal 
anywhere on the American continent. 



Replete with historic interest, it has housed 
many of the most famous men of the century, and 
its corridors contain to-day many pictures of men and events that 
bring to mind the stirring times of old New Orleans. Charles 
Dickens made the St. Charles his stopping place while on his 
celebrated tour of America. 




Oakey Hall, Mayor of Xew York City during the epoch of its 
greatest prosperity, visiting Xew Orleans in '54, said of the St. 
Charles: "Set the St. Charles down in St. Petersburg and you would 
think it a palace; in Boston, and ten to one j^ou would christen it a 
college; in London, and it would marvelouslv remind you of an 
Exchange; in X^cav Orleans it is all three." Xor was Oakev Hall 
the only visitor who broke out into such warm, enthusiastic and 
rapturous admiration of the St. Charles. Eady Wortley, an English 
lady, who had "done" Europe thoroughly, and was 'in search of 
something new and startling in America, pronounced the St. Charles 
a superb edifice, very similar to St. Peter's at Rome, and jjraised its 
"imniense dome and Corinthian portico" as the finest piece of 
architecture she had ever seen anvwhere in the world.

CARNIVAI, PARADE PASSING ST. CHARLES HOTEL 



To the average visitor "New Orleans" means "Mardi Gras." 

Mardi Gras is the French expression for Shrove Tuesday, 
which being the day preceding Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of 
Lent, makes it easy to follow the analogy of its literal translation — 
Mardi, Tuesday, and gras, fat — when the further fact is considered 
that, in its application, it also stands for the last day of the 
"Carnival"; tlie latter signifying, in this same connection, "farewell 
to flesh meat," and finding expression in gala days of revelry. 

Connnon usage in the case of the Mardi Gras at New Orleans 
has somewhat broadened its original application, so that, to at least 
the layman, it is synonymous with Carnival, except that there is 
always the Mardi Gras Day, which is not only the last day of ths 
so-called Carnival week, but the great day of them all. In it are 
culminated the grandest efforts, and the entire day is given up to a 
continuous round of gay pageants, masking and merrymaking, 
feasting and terpsichorean assemblies. 

The mainsprings of activity of the Carnival festivities are the 
secret societies organized for the sole purpose of celebrating the 
pre-Lenten period. The names of the principal of these societies 
are numerous, and of them Rex, Proteus, Comus and ^Nlonuis are 
the four great organizations. The other mystic organizations are 
Twelfth Night Revelers, Amphyctyons, Krewe of Nereus, Olym- 
pians, Falstaffians, High Priests of INIithras, Elves of Oberon and 
Atlanteans. Thi-oughout these societies there runs a wonderful 
system of organization, as complete as that of a well-disciplined armj'.

STREET MASKERS OX MARDI (iKAS DAY 



Although co-oj)erating to a single end, so secret are their pro- 
ceedings that even the personnel of their membership is unknown 
outside the council chambers. But they work the whole year through 
(it is said that, as a pageant parades the streets, the work on that for 
the next year is actually in progress), and they spend for such 
purposes fabulous sums of money. The result is a brilliant succes- 
sion of costumed tableaux, masked and immasked balls and street 
pageants. The features of the latter are floats or cars, on which is 
illustrated in spectacular gorgeousness some well-chosen subject. 



In one form or another the ]Mardi (iras festivities have been 
observed in Xew Orleans, although at I)r()ken intervals, for nearly 
three-quarters of a century; and continuously, each year, since the 
close of the Civil War. They had their origin in the custom in olden 
days of I^ouisiana's planters and merchants looking to France, their 
mother country, for their fashions, amusements and literature; one 
of the results of wliicli was the inti-oduction, in 1827, of the first grand 
street procession of mas([ueraders in Xew Orleans by a number of 
young Creole gentlemen, some of them just returned from finishing 
a Parisian education. This was followed ten years later by one on a 
much larger and grander scale on the JMardi Gras of 1837; and from 
these the Carnival method of festivity may be said to have been fully 
laimched in the Crescent Citv. 




:\IARI)I GKAS PARADK 



The .subjects of these pageants are chan<);ed every year, and are 
kept a profomid secret until their actual appearance on the streets. 
A sufficient guarantee of their splendor and interest for future 
seasons is their past reputation and the citing of a few of the subjects 
that have been illustrated in the gorgeous pageants of the past: By 
Rex: The Arabian Nights; Realms of Flowers; Visions, Dreams and 
Legends; Chronicles from Fairyland. By Proteus: A Dream of 
Egypt; Tales of the Genii; Tales of Cliildhood; The Rubaiyat. By 
Conius: Lallah Rookh; Scenes from Biblical History; Songs of 
I^ong Ago; Babylon the IMagniiicent. By JNIomus: A Dream of 
Fair Women; the Passions; Paradise I^ost; Scenes from Popular 
Poems. 



Varying slightly from year to yeai-, as to the societies participating 
during the Carnival season, the entire season is, nevertheless, one of 
activity and general festi\ity, cuhiiinatiiig in the so-called Carnival 
week and reaching its height on JNIardi Gras Day. On the day before 
Mardi (Jras Day, JNIonday, comes Rex, King of the Carnival, ac- 
companied by his nobles and attendants in waiting to his "much- 
beloved Capitol." His proclamation, long before posted throughout 




ASSIXCi UP CANAI. STREET 



the country, and familiar to many, shows excellently the mock 
assumption of regal power, and the spirit in which the festivities of 
jNIardi Gras are carried out and heartily received hy the jjopulace of 
New Orleans. Rex usually, although not necessarily, makes his 
journey to the city by way of the river on his "Royal Yacht," 
escorted by the "Royal Flotilla" — which royal yacht and royal 
flotilla vary, according to his whims, from private yachts to visiting 
war vessels of the United States and foreign nations, with accom- 
panying tugs and merchant steamers. The arrival of the gaily- 
decorated flotilla, amid the booming of cannon and the loud sounds 
of music, is to the stranger an interesting feature of JNIardi Gras and 
should not be missed. On landing. Rex and his retinue, in brilliant 
military and civic procession, escorted by his especially-selected body- 
guard — usually some crack militarj- organization, visiting or local — 
jiroceeds to the City Hall, where he receives the keys of the city. 
From then on his rule is absolute, and his "royal standard of purple, 
green and gold" waves over the city in token of his sovereignty. In 
the evening of the same day, ISIonday, occurs the tableau ball of the 
Krewe of Proteus at the French 0])era House, preceded by its grand 
pageant on the streets.

HE next day, jNIardi Gras Day, brings the masking on 
the streets and a general spirit of revelry, also the 
da^dight pageant of Rex. and the evening pageant of 
the Mystic Krewe of Conuis, the latter followed by a 
grand Conuis ball at the French Opera House, and the 
Hex ball; or, as announced, "grand reception at the 
Imperial Palace by the King and Queen of the Carnival 
and Koyal Party, and ball in the Palace adjoining the 
Throne Room of the Imperial Palace." Then, of course, 
there are numerous other balls and entertainments 
throughout the city. 

Rex and his (jueen — for at the social functions he is 
accompanied by his queen, whose crown and jewels 
have been on public exhibition for days before — after 
their reception is over and the Rex ball is fairly launched, go to the 
French Opera House, as a matter of courtesy, it is presumed, to 
King Comus — for Comus, too. is a king. This ball, the Comus ball 
at the French Opera House, is the elite affair of the Carnival — "the 
essence and pinnacle of interest in all the ceremonies of ]VIardi Gras." 
At it the extremest of full dress is exacted, and the ladies are only 
allowed to be seated during the period preceding the general dancing, 
the gentlemen standing in the background. First come spectacular 
groupings, or tableaux, of the costumed maskers from off the floats 
of the street parade, after which the music strikes up the first notes 
of the dance. Then the maskers leave the stage, each selecting from 
the dress circle the lady of his choice. They return with them to the 
stage, where they are led by the King and Queen in the grand march. 
At its conclusion, masks and costumes disappear and the general 
dancing begins. 

The St. Charles Hotel, the third to bear this historic name on the 
same site, has always been closely connected with Carnival tradition. 
Here gather the loyal Dukes of the Realm before proceeding in their 
carriages to the Royal Pier to welcome Rex on the arrival of the 
Royal Yacht and escort him in state to the City Hall. 

All Parades pass in front of the St. Charles Hotel, where guests 
may view them from the terrace.

The Delgado Museum of Art. 

.^^0 feature of New Orleans will appeal more strongly to the visitor of aesthetic 
P * tastes than the Delgado Museum and its treasury of paintings, sculpture 
and applied arts. This handsome structure of classic beauty stands in the 
City Park and is reached by a superb avenue of Palms. Mounting a broad terrace, 
the visitor enters a central statuary hall i(f niliniiable proportions. To the left 
a large room is set apart for the collection nf iiirtiires, ceramics and furniture that 
were bequeathed to the museum by the late Isaac Delgado, to whose munificence 
the city owes the museum building and forms the nucleus for a permanent collection. 

The first acquisition of signal importance was a group of jades and other 
semi-precious stones bequeathed to the institution by the late Morgan Whitney 
and which constitute one of the finest collections of such work in America. 

Then came the Hyams Collection of paintings and objects of Art which at 
once became the central feature of the museum's treasures. These works were 
given by the late Mrs. Chapman H. Hyams and are shown in a room especially 
designed and decorated to receive them. Corot, Diaz, Schreyer, Harpignies, Bonheur. 
Bouguereau, Ziem, Alma Tadema and many other famous Artists are represented 
in the collection which is worthy of any museum, and which so eloquently attests 
Mrs. Hyams' fine taste and careful .selection. 

Another gift of importance was the Lacosst collection of Marble, Wood and 
Bronze. 

The Museum has been the recipient of many donations from individuals and 
from leading art clubs of the City, and throughout the year one will find in its 
galleries loan collections and special exhibitions that keep the display ever varied 
and interesting. At present there are shown superb works from the collections 
of Mrs. George Q. Whitney and of Mr. J. K. Newman of New Orleans.

douhle-ti'acked trolley line from Canal and Rampart Streets, or may 
l)e reached by walking, driving or motor-boat. One may alight from 
the Esplanade Belt cars at the bridge where it crosses Bayou St. 
John, follow the white shell road along the clear winding stream 
and enjoy a glimpse of Holland, for the wide flats and the sails of 
the oyster luggers form a pretty picture as they move in and out 
with the tortuous stream.

where the Battle of Xew Orleans was fought between the British 
and American forces on January 8, 181.5. The Dauphine car will 
take jjassengers within a short distance of the entrance. This is a 
national cemetery tastefully laid out and beautifully kept.

many beautifid monuments, among which may be mentioned those 
of General Albert Sidney Johnston and (General Stonewall Jackson,

Fellows' Rest, Firemen's and others. Canal or Esplanade Belt cars. 



WHEN IN NEW ORLEANS— THE STRAND 



One of the first questions asked by the visitor to New Orleans is: 
'Where's your best theater?" 

You'll find THE STRAND the most pretentious photoplay palace 



Located at Baronne and Gravier Streets, in the huh ol' the hotel 
and shopping district, it is the rendezvous for visitors from every 
land and clime. 

Refinement and elegance, coupled with real service are predominant assets that have 
helped make it a Southern institution. Visitors and tourists would no sooner miss an 
opportunity to see it than they would miss seeing St. Louis Cathedral, The Cabildo or 
other equally famous show places that has made New Orleans "the wonder city of America." 




ling film producers comprise the screen 



Standard productions from America's 
entertainment. 

The Strand Concert Orchestra of 35 musicians, directed by Don Phillippini, noted 
Italian maestro, musically interpret each production. Each day at noon they play a concert 
which is musical exclusively. It is of an hour's duration and ends at 
1 o'clock. 

A ladies mezzanine lounge; individual telephone service connecting 
with all lines in the United States and Canada; personal maid 
and stationery service are only a few of the elite features permanently 
maintained. 

THE STRAND is owned and operated by The Saenger Amusement 
Company. Inc., whose controlling properties of fifty theatres encircle 
the South.

THEY RE OFF, AT THE JOCKEY CI,UB 



Some Interesting Trolley Rides 

(All cars center on Canal Street. Universal transfers, except 

between Belt, West End and Si:)anish Fort Lines.) 

The Esplanade Belt runs along Canal Street to Rampart, turning 
into North Rampart until Esplanade Avenue is reached; out 
Esplanade until Bayou St. John is crossed, then along City Park 
to Canal, and Canal back to the city. 

In this ride can be seen the aristocratic streets and avenues of 
the latter Creole days, with manj- handsome residences and spacious 
grounds. 

Along this route the Fair Grounds and Race Track can be 
reached; also the famous Jockey Club, which is now a residence park 
and dwelling. 

Over the bridge of the old Bayou St. John the car passes by the 
Beauregard Monument, then the beautiful oaks of the City Park can 
be seen, stately and grand, with tufts of gray moss hanging from their 
enormous branches and covering over eighty acres of the park. 

The car soon reaches the various cemeteries, then turning into 
Canal Street, lands one in the heart of the city after an hour's most 
interesting ride. 

The Canal Belt traverses the same route in the opposite direction. 

The St. Charles Belt, starting on Canal Street, turns into 
Baronne; out this busy street to Howard Avenue, then past Lee 
Circle into St. Charles Avenue, out this beautiful avenue, past 
Tulane University, to Carrollton, along Carrollton to Tulane, then 
to South Rampart and back into Canal. 

This ride carries one something over ten miles through some of 
the prettiest and most fashionable parts of the city. St. Charles 
Avenue varies in width, averaging about one hundred and thirty feet, 
having in the center a grassy strip known as the "Neutral Groimd," 
bordered for most of its length by rows of trees. On either side of 
this are roadways for vehicles, the cars being operated on the 
Neutral Ground.

The taste of the bouillabaisse still lingered in the mouths of the old French- 
Creole settlers of New Orleans. The famous old chefs sought two fiish from the 
waters of the Mexican Gulf that might be used in the making of the dish with 
a reasonable hope of success. They chose the red snaiiper and the redfish. The 
result is tnld in Thaeketav's trihiili'. Tlie Creok^ honillabaisse, with the modifl- 
catioiis and im|)ro\emeiiis that early inevniiii\ -iii^'ije-iei I. is a dish that was the 
standing oU'ering m anlehelliim ilays to e\efy disi ingiiished Parisian or foreigner 
that visited New OrleaJis. Its reputation is sustained by the Creole cuisinieres of 
our own day. It is made as follows: 

First cut off the head of the red snapper and boil it in about one and a half 
quarts of water, so as to make a fish stock. Put one slice onion and an herb 
bouquet, consisting of thyme and bay leaf, into the water. When reduced to one 
pint, take out the head of the fish and the herb bouquet and strain the water and 
set aside for use later on. 



Take six slices of redfish and six slices of red snapper of equal sizes and rub 
well with salt and pepper. Mince three sprigs of thyme, three sprigs of parsley, 
three bay leaves and three cloves of garlic, very, very fine, and take six allspice and 
grind them very fine, and mix thoroughly with the minced herbs and garlic. Then

take each slice of fish and riili well with this mixture till everv imrtinn is permcatccl 
liy the herbs, spice and garlic. They must be. as it were, soaked into the flsh. if 
you would achieve the success of this dish. Take two tablespoonfuls of fine olive 
oil and put into a very large pan, so large that each slice of the fish may be put 
in without one piece overlapping the other. Chop two onions very fine and add 
them to the heating oil. Lay the fish slice by slice in the pan, and cover, and let 
them "etouife," or smother, for about ten minutes, turning once over so that each 
side may cook partly. Then take the fish out of the pan and set the slices in a dish. 
Pour a half bottle of white wine into a pan and stir well. Add six large fresh 
tomatoes, sliced very fine, and let them boil well. Then add half a lemon, cut in 
very thin slices, and pour over a pint of the liquor in which the head of the snapper 
was boiled. Season well to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne. Let it 
boil until very strong and till reduced almost one-half; then lav the fish, slice by 
slice, apart one from the other, in the pan, and let boil five minutes. In the 
meantime have prepared one good pinch of saffron, chopped very fine. Set it in a 
small, deep dish and add a little of the sauce in which the' fish is boiling to 
dissolve well. When well melted and when the fish has been just five minutes in 
the pan, spread the safl:"ron over the top of the fish. Take out of the pan, lay each 
slice on. toast, which has been fried in butter; pour the sauce over, and serve hot 
immediately, and you will have a dish that Lucullus would have envied.

taste of: 

Two very fine <liirkon.=. two tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls of 

flour, sLs large fresh i in,-. ..jx fresh, sweet, green peppers, two cloves of garlic, 

three large onions, ihivr >|iim> each of thraie and parslev, two bay leaves, one 
pint consomme or boiling water. Salt and pepper to taste. Take two spring 
chickens and clean them nicely and cut into pieces at the joints. Season w^ell with 
salt and pepper. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a stewpan, and, w^ien it 
melts, add the chickens. Let this brown slowly for a good five minutes. Have 
ready three large onions sliced. Add these to the chickens and let them brow^n.

two talilespoonfuls of flour; let this brown. Then add half-dozen large, fresh 
tomatoes, nicely sliced, and let these brow^n. Cook very slowly, allowing the 
mixture to simply simmer. Add chopped parslev, thyme and bay leaf, and two 
cloves of garlic finely minced. Let all lirowii without burning. Cover and let it 
smother over a slow but steady fire. Tlic tomato |iiice will make sufficient gravv

and slicing the peppers very fine. Stir well. Let all smother steadily for twenty 
minutes at least, keeping well covered and stirring occasionally. " Wlien well
